Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 26, 2024) – Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF), a global cybersecurity services and solutions provider, today announced a significant follow-on contract valued at US$1.2 million with an existing NASDAQ-listed semiconductor client. This 9-month contract strengthens the Company’s existing relationship with the client and underscores the success of Plurilock’s “land-and-expand” strategy to deepen customer engagements and drive high-margin growth.

Under this agreement, Plurilock Critical Services (PLCS) team will implement Zero Trust Architecture, delivering comprehensive cybersecurity services including next-generation AI-driven solutions and robust network infrastructure enhancements.

The Company expects delivery and fulfillment to begin during Q4 2024. Further details with respect to the terms of the contract are subject to confidentiality and non-disclosure.

The U.S. Government’s push to modernize its cybersecurity strategy with a focus on Zero Trust Architecture presents a significant opportunity for Plurilock.
